Not me! I was even more excited about turning 30 because this would be my golden birthday.A few months after my 30th birthday when my little girl, Annie, turned two, I decided it was time for me to have my heart check-up. I have a family history of heart disease, so I knew this visit was important.I made an appointment with the doctor, who had a very clear picture of my family history of heart disease. I got checked in, weighed, blood pressure checked, and all seemed just fine. However, since my mom had a hole in her heart, my doctor decided to do the same check on my heart. When it was done, my doctor sat me down and said, “You have a heart condition. Only 10% of your heart is functioning.” How could this be?After the shock settled in, I told myself that I had to pick myself back up and move forward. I wasnt the first woman to be diagnosed with heart disease, and sadly I wouldnt be the last.Just 10 years ago, my diagnosis would be almost immediately fatal. Yet, because of the advances in technology and medicine and the contribution of the American Heart Association, I now have a chance to pick out Annies wedding dress with her one day.One day, I will be the recipient of a new heart because of the research done by the American Heart Association. I will be able to run, jump, swim . The face of heart disease can be deceiving; dont let this silent killer deceive you.21. What did the writer do after she heard the doctors words?A. She refused to have any kind of treatment.B. She was shocked and thought it was not true.C. She cried and didnt know what to do.D. She was shocked and then decided to fight the disease.22. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. Heart disease is not that horrible.B. Family members are important to us.C. The writer will attend her daughters wedding ceremony very soon.D. The writer got a new heart with the help of the American Heart Association.23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Touching Mother-Daughter RelationshipB. A New Treatment for Heart DiseaseC. A Young Mothers Battle Against Heart DiseaseD. The True Meaning of Heart DiseaseBMost people say that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the lime to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways, to make new friends again.This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.24. According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?A. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stageB. .Over 400 friends in their whole livesC. 400 internet friends in their whole livesD. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.25. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?A. There is a rule about making friendsB. People with different views can become friendsC. Some people would die for their friends if they need toD. Friendships mean different things to different people26. We can learn from the text that most of us _.A. are frightened to talk to peopleB. build friendships late in lifeC. are dissatisfied with our friendsD. need to be with others27. What is the authors attitude towards talking to a stranger?A. Uninterested B. Positive C. Doubtful D. CautiousCScientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals (晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europes Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last weeks announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?” Noonan asked. “ As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.28. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on _.A. surrounding insects B. eating mineralsC. diverse plants D. absorbing air29. What can we infer about the eaves in Naica from the passage?A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.B. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.C. The walls are covered by crystals.D. The caves have been explored since they were formed.30. What is the biologist Norine Noonans attitude towards the findings?A. Neutral. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.31. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D. Scientists Discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.DIts true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. Theres also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2020 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planets climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the earths climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build - up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. That obviously isnt possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.32. The text is developed by _.A. giving typical examplesB. following the order of spaceC. comparing and finding differencesD. analyzing a theory and arguing it33. Which of the following is not the cause of climate change?A. volcanic eruptionB. floods arid droughtsC. changes in solarD. cycles concerning the Earths going around the sun34. The underline word identical” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. exactly the same B. totally differentC. extremely important D. partly independent35. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?B. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?C. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?D. Whats the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Your telephone is running low on power while you are waiting to fly out of an airport.Then you discover a public USB charging area close by. _36_ Then you take a deep breath and sit back, happy to get the power for free.What could go wrong?
